So, Microsoft is willingly and openly commiting copyright infringement on content that, at least in the US, has copyright that is automatically applied on works created whether or not a copyright notice is posted.
Fsck AI and fsck you, Microsoft.

@qlp He's just saying that they're now allowing piracy of all of their products. It's a secret announcement for those who can read between the lines. It's great! Pirate away! Everything Microsoft has put out is now FREE!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🥳🥳🥳

“…With respect to content that is already on the open web, the social contract of that content since the ’90s has been that it is fair use. Anyone can copy it, recreate with it, reproduce with it. That has been freeware, if you like. That’s been the understanding."
What kind of fscked up take on "fair use" is that? Oh, because it's AI, so everything is thrown out the window?
BeAware :fediverse:
@qlp Nah, it's freeware. AI doesn't have to be involved. He just said it's part of the social contract. That's legally binding! FREE!!!!

@BeAware And, if they come at us, we could just say, "It's for AI!" 😂
